DC09 Posted July 24, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2004 SAN DIEGO - The final "Star Wars" prequel is just "Episode III" no more. Lucasfilm announced its new title Saturday: "Revenge of the Sith." The movie, set for release in May 2005, will link the prequels with the original "Star Wars" trilogy by showing how Luke Skywalker's father, Anakin, went from a sweet-natured slave boy to the galaxy-crushing villain Darth Vader. The Sith is the evil sect that corrupts Anakin (played by Hayden Christensen) by drawing him into the dark side of the Force, the cosmic power that balances the universe. Lucasfilm announced the new title at the annual Comic-Con International, the annual gathering of tens of thousands of sci-fi and superhero fans. It was a risky move — some of the notoriously fickle "Star Wars" admirers initially bristled at previous prequel titles "The Phantom Menace" and "Attack of the Clones." "Star Wars" creator and filmmaker George Lucas did not attend the event, but sent fan relations chief Steve Sansweet in his place. Sansweet announced the title by pulling off a baseball jersey to reveal a black T-shirt emblazoned with "Revenge of the Sith."

colorless Posted July 25, 2004 #3 Share Posted July 25, 2004 God that title sucks, why couldn't that have gone with 'Rise of the Empire' That would be the perfect title. "Revenge of the Sith" sounds like something an 11 year old made up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted July 25, 2004 #4 Share Posted July 25, 2004 sounds like something an 11 year old made up. Possibly the intended age range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Universal Absurdity Posted July 25, 2004 #8 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Episode 3 would have been a better title, It seems the more effort they put into these movies, the worse they get sadly, i'll probably go see it like i went and saw the last 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't explain it any better than that, that's all. Its cause the first three were classics, and its like compulsive to see how they started, even though Lucas has lost his mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC09 Posted July 25, 2004 Author #19 Share Posted July 25, 2004 It's just that now he is focusing way too much on special effects and less on story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AztecInca Posted July 25, 2004 #20 Share Posted July 25, 2004 star wars: war of the stars!!! even thats better than revenge of the sith, but like everyone has said we will all see it no matter what its title is cause its star wars, Rise of the empire would hve been a really good title, but that makes sense so why would they do that!

Byuu94 Posted July 26, 2004 #21 Share Posted July 26, 2004 They're calling it "Revenge of the Sith" because ep. 6 was originally called "Revenge of the Jedi", until, at the last moment Lucas realised Jedi don't take revenge, and changed the title. Besides, why call it "Return of the Sith"? They haven't gone anywhere in the last two movies. Also, if you think about it, the titles from the original series were just as bad. How about "Shadows of the Empire"? You could say it's foreshadowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
